    C Only 1 & 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All 1, 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The premise talks about how patients of diabetes have an increased risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease and then proceeds to give the cause for this - the link between high blood sugar and these two diseases. From this we can infer that people with diabetes have high blood sugar levels. Thus, (a) is the right answer. 1 is incorrect as the premise only talks of likelihood, not of a definite occurrence of the two diseases in people who suffer from diabetes.
